Fans around the world adore the bestselling No. 1 Ladiesâ?? Detective Agency series and its proprietor, Precious Ramotswe, Botswanaâ??s premier lady detective. In this charming series, Mma  Ramotsweâ??with help from her loyal associate, Grace Makutsiâ??navigates her cases and her personal life with wisdom, good humor, and the occasional cup of tea.

Under the endless skies of Botswana, there is always something Mma Ramotswe can do to help someone and here she finds herself assisting a woman looking for her family. The problem is the woman doesn't know her real name or whether any of her family members are still alive. Meanwhile, Mma Makutsi is the recipient of a beautiful new bed that causes more than a few sleepless nights. And, at Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors, Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni has come under the influence of a doctor promising a miracle cure for his daughter's medical condition, which Mma Ramotswe finds hard to accept. Nonetheless, Precious Ramotswe handles these things in her usual compassionate and good-natured way, while always finding time for a cup of red bush tea.

Continuing saga. Client trying to find family; purchase of bed with heart-shaped headboard; threatening letters to agency.
  bentstoker | Jan 26, 2024 |
Another sweet story where things turn out for the best or, at least, as well as one can reasonably hope for.

One theme deals with how do you react to personal hate mail. Do you respond with sympathy and an apology for whatever unknown action upset the writer or do you retaliate or ignore it? Do you do it publicly or quietly? And does it depend on how much the perpetrator is involved in your life?

Another is being honest when it involves admitting you are wrong----turns out this makes everything better!

Mma Ramotswe still has her white van.

My favorite quote from the book:
"... on one occasion [Mma Makutsi] had tut-tutted when a client had been telling Mma Ramotswe about something he had done. . . . Mma Ramotswe had been obliged to reassure him . . . . 'It is not for us, Rra,' she had said, all the while looking at Mma Makutsi, 'to make you feel guilty. It is not for us.'
Mma Makutsi had nodded. 'God will do that,' she interjected. 'He is the one who will judge you.'" [p. 19]

📚 Miracle at Speedy Motors, Alexander McCall Smith 📚
Loved this book. Starting to think there aren't any No1 Ladies Detective Agency I won't like! I love the way Alexander McCall Smith of making the mundane things in life sound fascinating. I also love the lyrical way the characters speak

This book is like a hot bath. I may have to ration myself so I can make them last for a week instead of two days. ( )

The correct address of Precious Ramotswe, Botswana's foremost solver of problems - in the sense that this was where she could be found between eight in the morning and five in the afternoon, except when she was not there - was the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, c/o Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors, Gaborone, Botswana.
